Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the All Progressives Congress (APC). In his resignation letter dated January 30, 2025, addressed to the party leadership in Ward 8, Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State, Nwoko cited deep divisions and irreconcilable factions within the PDP as the primary reasons for his departure. He expressed concern that these internal conflicts have weakened the party's effectiveness as an opposition and pose a threat to Nigeria's multi-party democracy.

During a plenary session on February 5, 2025, Senate President Godswill Akpabio read Nwoko's letter of defection to the APC. In this correspondence, Nwoko urged the Senate to establish an ad hoc committee to investigate the ongoing crisis within the PDP. He emphasized the importance of a strong and credible opposition in promoting accountability and ensuring that the voices of all Nigerians are heard.

Nwoko's defection underscores the challenges facing the PDP, as internal disputes continue to prompt key members to reconsider their affiliations. His call for a Senate investigation highlights concerns about the potential erosion of Nigeria's multi-party system and the need to address issues within opposition parties to maintain a balanced democratic process.
